Where's our flying cars?

This isn't the robot I dreamed about as a kid. By 2000 we should have had cool android/robots, flying cars and computers like the HAL 9000.

Also, Manhatten Island was suppose to be turned into a prison and the moon was suppose to be ripped from orbit by 1999.

Yes, I use one all the time.

Also, I may use it in a different manner than just driving around looking for a place in a city etc.

I use mine in conjuntion to a USGS topographic map that has UTM gridlines etc. It's very accurate. In conjunction with a compass, my family and I know just where we are when hiking, even to a point of planing out camp sites the week before the hike.

You'd be suprised.

Not to mention the Geocaching world.

Street-map GPSs could be disabled, but given their accuracy, most people wouldnt even notice :P

I guess accuracy down to 3 meters isn't good?
A WAAS enabled GPS can get down that close you know...or did you? 3 meter range is accurate in my book.

Geocaching is fun, but I don't think we really have to worry about these jammers screwing up our beloved activity.
